Two New Jersey RBs get chance at mini-camp

Shabazz grad Amir Pinnix and Keyport's Kenny Cattouse will both have chances to prove themselves to an NFL team later this week.

Pinnix, who rushed for over 2,000 yards in his four years at the University of Minnesota, will work out at the Vikings mini-camp, which starts Friday. Cattouse, who played at Troy after graduating from Keyport as New Jersey's all-time leading rusher, will head up to New England's mini-camp. Neither has signed with an NFL team, but they'll put in their bid at the mini-camps, where they'll join each team's draft picks and undrafted free agent signings.

"This is what I've been wanting, since I could remember," Cattouse said. "All I need to do is prove myself."
